Corpuz, wrapped the opening segment in his three-point remarks, highlighting the imperative role of research in elevating the global visibility of TSU through the published high-value research of its faculty-researchers in reputable journals. Dr. Corpuz firmly worded how innovative research findings must transcend from papers into full-fledged outputs that extend to the communities beyond the Universityโs borders.

Dr. Mai Peรฑalba then supplemented her expertise by diving into the nooks and crannies of the IMRaD formatting for journal-ready manuscripts. In synthesis of the preliminary topics, the participating faculty researchers were challenged to peruse their prepared finished papers based on its readiness for publication in recognized research journals.
Delving into a lighter lecture, the afternoon session opened for the masterclass of Ms. Jhoan Medrano with her artistic points on data visualization. Acclaimed for her imaginative works on book designing and visual arts, Ms. Medrano talked on the topics of utilizing typography and images in article publication.
